Jeff Platzguitarist improviser

Jeff Platz

Boston area guitarist Jeff Platz's quartet album Past & Present Futures is both a clever play on words and a document of exemplary free improvisation. With the support of Francois Grillot on bass, Frederico Ughi on drums, and Daniel Carter on woodwinds and brass, the guitarist nimbly picks his way through the set with a classic jazz guitar tone and an expansive palette of sounds and colors.

Platz 6tet at Lily Pad 4/24/14

The nominal leader of this otherwise cooperative session, guitarist Jeff Platz, is blessed with the ability to identify players with the ability to make things happen within an ensemble while maintaining a distinct voice.

I am an electric guitarist and composer. I perform and record
in the United States and in Europe working with a variety of
ensembles of all sizes and shapes. My focus is improvised music
and the on going challenge of musical self expression and artistic
development.
